Default Zvh xr3i?

Anyone know what kind of power from a n/a zvh conversion on my mfi xr3i? Is it worth it.

I had a ZVH engine in my MK4 XR3i. Was on 2.0 bottom end with RS1600i ported head incl mechanical tappets (instead of the normal ones found in all other CVH engines), standard cam, RS1600i inlet + exhaust manifold. Was about 150 BHP, maybe a bit more. But the throque was most impressive
